Join us for National SEW a Jelly Roll Day

   National Sew a Jelly Roll Day is September 21     this year in which quilters get to sew up their   many pre-cut and unused fabric, referred to as   "jelly rolls".  ACQ is sponsoring a stay at home   and sew activity on Zoom.  Have fun with fellow   ACQ members and use that stash to make a   project for yourself, charity or as a gift! 

There is no charge for this event but registered members are eligible for a drawing.

Some facts: The origin of the word "quilt" comes from a Latin word   meaning bolster or a cushion.  The term was used in England for the first time in the 13th century.
